Zot is a communication protocol for decentralized publishing with built-in privacy for nomadic identities.

Allowing you, your family, friends and other people across the #Fediverse to interact and choose who can and cannot see what they publish, and let you move your contacts and data to another part of the Fediverse if you want to or need to. This is quite unlike #GAFAM, and you will enjoy it a lot more.

#Zot is at the heart of #Zap and #Hubzilla, which is Free & Open Source Software and available at no cost too.

In 2020, Zot, which grew out of Red, #RedMatrix, #Friendica, Friendika and #Mistpark, is 10 years old. Zap and Hubzilla also speak other Fediverse protocols, in particular #ActivityPub, used by #MoodleNet, #Mastodon, #Pleroma, #PixelFed, #PeerTube and many others

@mike created Zot, and we in the Zot community thank you and the other developers for your efforts.
Happy Birthday, #Zot!

Distributed social media - Mastodon & Fediverse Explained

#Mastodon is a #federated-social-network that works like #Twitter.
It puts the control of data into the user's hands, not in a single corporation.

#hubzilla (formerly known as #redmatrix) is a modular #webserver based operating system which includes technologies for publishing, social media, file sharing, photo sharing, chat and more (including the ability to develop custom modules).

These services are accessed and connected across server and administrative boundaries through the communication protocol #zot which provides a high level of privacy and security customization and a nomadic identity for the users.

A web server running Hubzilla is called a "hub".
The decentralized network consisting of the total of the hubs - "the grid" - federates with other platforms of the distributed social network and the #fediverse!

#diaspora, socialhome #friendica, #GNUSocial, #mastodon, #postActiv, #Pleroma, #PixelFed, #Funkwhale, #Plume, #GangGo, #Aardwolf, Pump.io, PeerTube etc.

What is ‘federation’?

LibreComms.

Andalusia, Tue, 19 Nov 2019 18:25:52 -0500

"The easiest way to explain federation is to think about email. Anyone can create their own email address via any provider they choose, and they can use any email software they choose. As the whole system is standards-based, anyone can send an email to anyone else knowing that it will ‘just work’. You only need to know their email address, something like name@emailprovider.com."

If we extend that idea to social networks, so long as a social network adheres to a particular standard, then anyone can send a message or other content to anyone else knowing that it will ‘just work’. In our case with #MoodleNet, the standard is #ActivityPub, which is already used by social networks such as #Mastodon, #Peertube, and #Pixelfed.
